Check out line2line coatings, recommended to me by total seal rings. Used a lot in racing.

Its wonderful to hear your expression of gratitude. Hope you get to enjoy many years together. So many things in life are taken for granted until we don't have them .

Is the rear seal on the v8 block the same as the model a? I see the same style drain tube.

Try some of " the right stuff" by permatex on the threads.

One very important factor is crankcase pressure from blow by past the rings , this is certainly more important than what is going on in the bell housing.

All modern cars lights blind me if i look straight at them, its because they are brighter. You really dont need to be a mechanical engineer to own a model a. Try them out, if you see better they are good. I will try them and I dont drive at night in my car hardly any.

I feel i wasted a lot of time messing with the rears. I would just do the fronts if i were to do it again.

Great to hear from you! Hope your recovery goes well.

I had my oil return pipe come loose right when i first got my coupe. I was lucky it was only a couple blocks from my return to my home, trail of oil out the drive and down the street. Previous owner mechanic was afraid to tighten bolts i think. Ive checked several times and they havent come...

I had to grind mine to clear the fan same as you . Castings seem to be machined off center.

I could be wrong but I thought original ford discs had solid hubs with no cushion springs. I dont think that a person should have to break in the clutch but if the surfaces are too rough it might be a solution. Bills method accelerates the process. The combination of a disc grabbing and...

I think Bill is on to something here. I have also had the experience of a new disc and pressure plate needing some wear to work smoothly. It was mentioned that the flywheel had grinding marks. When a good working clutch is taken apart the surfaces will be polished smooth. Chattering is caused...

I have an old Automobile Trade Journal from 1933. It has lots of old ads for auto parts, tools etc. This is one I thought some might find interesting.
